i apparently don’t understand what this pattern is wanting me to do. whenever I get to the end of a row the turn around just looks wrong. so yeah, i’m not one to give up, and i’ve given up on this one.

This pattern is great. Used it to get rid of scrap wool this winter. Whatever I had left I mixed with a solid beige n it looks amazing n was asked by a few friends if they could have it. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Just tried this and it is great! I like that it is so soft and HUGE! I get the satisfaction of seeing real progress every time I pick it up. I worked on it for about an hour every night and it took me about a week. I only used to skeins and it was still quite large. I am a sit in front of the TV to crochet kind of person and this was perfect for that purpose. Love it! Will do them for Christmas this year!

This is a very good pattern. A beautiful product using basic simple stitches. I modified it by using a P hook and a 76 count beginning chain, so it took me longer than the 4.5 hours. I am teaching my coworkers to crochet. I will use this pattern as our first project.

hmmm, this looks like something good to try….i’ll print it out and try it, i don’t like spending a lot of time on crochet projects but i LOVE making afghans, they are always so warm and cozy in the winter, maybe i’ll try it
